Also on display will be the Pardo Yachts E72, making its show debut. Together, they signal Pardo Yachts' growing focus on the American market and preview a new chapter in its evolution.
A Star Return for the Pardo 43
Since its launch in 2017, more than 300 units of the original 43 have been sold, making it one of the most recognizable walkaround yachts in its class. The updated edition, designed in collaboration with Nauta Design and Zuccheri Yacht Design, brings sharper detailing, refined ergonomics, and new options that elevate comfort and performance while staying true to the yacht’s established identity.
...for us, success has never meant standing still. This new version is not about revolution, but evolution - continuing to refine and improve a model that has already made history.”
President
Cantiere del Pardo
“The Pardo 43 was born from a clear vision to create something truly distinctive,” said Gigi Servidati, President of Cantiere del Pardo. “Its incredible success, with over 300 units sold to date, is a testament to that vision. But for us, success has never meant standing still. This new version is not about revolution, but evolution - continuing to refine and improve a model that has already made history.”
Design Evolution with Nauta and Zuccheri
The collaboration between Nauta Design and Zuccheri Yacht Design has reshaped both the exterior and interior, focusing on clarity, light, and livability. Larger hull windows now fill the interior with natural light, while the sheer line has been softened and lowered, lending the profile a sportier, more dynamic appearance.
The redesigned helm station introduces a new motor yacht automation system developed with Garmin and customized for Pardo Yachts, improving functionality and control. The hardtop supports are now structurally integrated with the tempered glass windshield, giving the yacht a cleaner silhouette and greater rigidity underway.
Other upgrades include an enlarged foredeck sunpad with a forward-facing bench, a deeper aft sunpad inspired by the Pardo GT52, and a reconfigured outdoor galley with increased storage and workspace.
Invisible side-step hardware, solar charging panels, and improved wind protection through an extended windshield round out a thoughtful list of refinements aimed at both style and practicality.
Onboard Comfort and Smart Features
While the Pardo 43 remains a day boat at heart, onboard comfort has taken a marked step forward. Dometic air conditioning now serves the cockpit and interior, including the bathroom, while owners can opt for stabilizers from either Seakeeper or Quick to enhance comfort at anchor or under way. Starlink connectivity is also available, enabling high-speed satellite internet across remote cruising areas.
Below deck, the new Pardo 43 offers two layout options: one with a fixed V-berth ensuite and aft twin cabin, or another featuring a convertible forward dinette. Nauta Design has refined the interiors with warmer materials, ambient lighting, and fabric ceiling panels for a cleaner aesthetic, while increased headroom, improved window shades, and integrated storage enhance both comfort and practicality.
Fuel and freshwater capacity have each been increased to support longer trips, while new underwater lights and an automatic bathing ladder enhance both safety and atmosphere at sea.
Performance and Propulsion Choices
In a significant first for Pardo Yachts, the new Pardo 43 introduces an outboard-powered version designed specifically for the American market. Visitors to FLIBS will get an exclusive preview of this configuration, known as the Pardo P43R, currently under construction and set to launch in early 2026.
Owners can now choose between the traditional inboard Volvo Penta IPS drives (IPS 500, 600, or 650) or a triple Mercury outboard setup (V10 3x400 standard, or V12 3x600 optional). Each propulsion system is matched with a dedicated hull design to ensure optimal efficiency, performance, and stability for the chosen setup.
The new Pardo 43 joins the Endurance 72 at this year’s FLIBS, highlighting Pardo’s growing presence in the US and its commitment to adapting European design sensibilities for American boating culture. With the P43R outboard version soon to follow, the brand continues to refine its lineup to match the evolving needs of global owners.
